Pokemon Ash, Balbasaur & Munchlax

Bulbasaur has been Ash's loyal companion, his starter Pokémon, and his first true friend. They've battled countless opponents, faced perilous journeys, and celebrated victories together. Ash trusts Bulbasaur's wisdom and calm demeanor, relying on his Grass-type prowess in tricky situations.

Ash sees Munchlax's potential, its powerful Normal-type moves waiting to be honed. But training requires Munchlax to stay awake, a challenge Ash tackles with playful persistence. He admires Munchlax's easygoing nature and its infectious love for food, which often leads to comical situations. Munchlax, in turn, finds warmth and excitement in Ash's company, slowly emerging from its shell and learning to trust, one nap at a time.
